The song features a hard-hitting beat and aggressive lyrics typical of the gangster rap subgenre prevalent in the early 1990s. "Deeper" explores themes of street life, female empowerment within that environment, and defiance against societal expectations. The lyrics delve into the realities of violence, struggle, and survival, presenting Boss as a strong, independent woman navigating a dangerous world.
